#ROLAND SOUND CANVAS VA INSTALL#
However you will not be able to expand or multiply the parts & polyphony unless you install on multiple iOS devices.
#ROLAND SOUND CANVAS VA SOFTWARE#
Some might argue that the software plugin is expensive when you compare with the equivalent iOS app which you can have for USD 20. Hard core SC users would drool over this potential specifications operating out of one computer! Because the software technology on SC has finally overtaken my old set up, I finally retired my SC-8850 hardware early this year. All 63 drum presets available simultaneously – no need for a Program Change mid-way thru a song.88 parts (64 from midi tracks + 24 from instrument tracks).The resultant specification is as follows:
However this time we’ll limit one part per instrument track so as to make the setup practical (unlike what I posted in the previous blog). Remember there are 63 different drum presets to choose from and the SC-VA drums collection are also identical to SC-8850/SC-8820/SC for iOS.Īt this stage, let’s push Cubase Elements 8 to its extreme by adding 24 more Instrument Tracks using the SC-VA. However your Insert Effects count now increases to 16 and your drum parts selection can go as high as 32 simultaneously. Divide the 64 parts by 16 plugins and you can use 4 midi tracks per plugin. Wanna expand your SC setup to something more creative? Assuming you’re using Cubase Elements 8 as the preferred DAW, you can open up to 16 SC-VA on the rack instruments. You will have the following synergistic specifications: In fact when you open up four (4) SC-VAs on a single project, the combined VST performance footprint on your computer is still relatively small.
The jazz guitar on SC-8820 Map is identical to that of SC-88Pro. on SC-8820/SC-88Pro/SC-88/SC-55 Maps? But effectively you only get two different jazz guitar sounds residing on Program Change 027 originally from the SC-88Pro & SC-55.
#ROLAND SOUND CANVAS VA PATCH#
For example, notice there are four different tones of the same patch name called Jazz Gt. You can cross out the duplicates by referring to the tone list contained in the appendix section of the Owner’s Manual. Likewise SC-88Pro & SC-8850 actually have less than 1,117 & 1,640 tones respectively. Below is a table of specs comparison between the Sound Canvas family lines:Įven though the SC-VA contains the same number of tones as the SC-8820, you’ll notice Roland has rounded down its spec number to 1,600 which is only an approximation. A more detail counting of tones on the SC-VA/SC-8820/Sound Canvas for iOS revealed there are 1,483 after discarding all of the duplicates.
